In a move far less surprising than the ones Michael Jackson did onstage, now comes word that the Jackson tribute concert, slated to take place on September 26 in Vienna, is being pushed back to June – and to London.

The reason?

Simple. The event organizers couldn’t pull it together and their supposed lineup of stars, including Mary J. Blige, Natalie Cole, and Chris Brown – who has some community service ahead of him – had scheduling issues.

Those who bought tickets will be refunded, and tickets for the London concert, which start at approximately $75, go on sale on December 1.

Before buying tickets and airfare, Gossip Cop is going to wait to see if the proposed new concert will be a thriller or whether this too will go bad.

An enormous tribute concert for the late Michael Jackson will happen in Vienna later this month, Jermaine Jackson and other organizers announced, and the lineup of performers includes Mary J. Blige, Sister Sledge, Natalie Cole, and troubled star Chris Brown.

So far thirteen artists are confirmed, but event promoter Georg Kindel said that up to 25 performers are expected to be part of the show, which will take place outside the 17th-century Schoenbrunn Palace because, according to Jermaine Jackson, Michael “loved castles.” Organizers refused to say whether other rumored performers – including Madonna, Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, and Stevie Wonder – would participate in the September 26th event.

One entertainer definitely on board according to organizers is Brown, whose style has been compared frequently to Jackson’s, but whose personal life has been in turmoil since his conviction for assaulting girlfriend Rihanna. Brown and his fellow artists are expected to perform Jackson’s hit songs and celebrate the King of Pop’s legacy as a humanitarian.

Gossip Cop expects there to be a lot of speculation about possible performers as the concert nears. We will monitor the process and do our best to separate fact from fiction.
